"A view of the left side of the stage, including part of a stage box on the extreme left. From this leans a figure of Folly wearing a fool's cap with ass's ears, clapping his hands. Within the shadow of the box is the head of a staring owl (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5363). A frieze of dancing dogs (cf. British Museum Satires No. 16715) decorates the lower part of the box; above is a grinning mask flanked by dogs' heads. The capital of the Corinthian pilaster that flanks the stage is formed of dogs' heads. At its foot is a figure of Thalia covering her face with her hands. At the base of her pedestal is an open book: 'The Caravan or the Driver and his Dog a Farce.' This lies on and obscures another: 'The Critic or Tragedy rehearsed'. The front of the stage is filled with a large pool; in this a dog swims, his collar inscribed 'Carlo'; he holds the head of Sheridan above the water by his hair, saying: "------methinks it were an easy Leap" To dive into the bottom of the Deep" And pluck up drowned honour by ye Locks." ['1 Henry IV', I. iii.] Water gushes into the pool from left and right; on the righ from a mound of stone slabs on which is poised a wheeled dog-kennel. By the roof of the kennel are the heads of two enormous and camel-like dogs, muzzled (or bridled), and peering at Carlo; one partly obscures a notice-board on a post in the pool: 'Humane Socie[ty for] recovering drowning persons] It is recommended That Dog Kennels [should be] stationed at all Ho[uses of] public Entertainment for the Benefit of drowning persons.' The scenery is a water-side castle."--British Museum online catalogue

Hogarth is shown fleeing from a village, his hat flying off as a scolding woman at his side points to cow horns that appear over his head. The horns are numbered “1”, a reference to a table below to Hogarth's prints "Four times the day". A chimney sweep behind Hogarth holds up his print “H- [of] Prussia” as he steals from his satchel the 'March to Finchley'. Another chimney sweep -- numbered “2” referencing the table below that identifies him as "a painter"--rides a sow and carries a palette as a shield emblazoned with a “line of beauty”. Exemplifying the "lines of beauty". Hogarth's dog bits the woman's drapery; a greyhound steals from a pail hanging from the yoke of a milkmaid; a cripple with his crutch, wooden leg, and natural leg. The design includes numerous other references to other Hogarth prints and Centered below the main design is an etching of Hogarth in stocks under a pump. Mounted on the pump is a broadside inscribed: "Puggs proposals to his Dunces to humbug them by an election feast a burlesque on the wort[hy] members o[f Parlia]ment 1754." Parts of the image are lettered, referencing a table to the right

"The interior of a barber's shop. Fox, with a bald head, stands looking towards the barber (left), who holds up a plain wig with a single curl at the back, saying: "No fit you Zir, perhaps you got de Paine in you Head, make you tink so, dis Vigg vill fit any Loyal subject give but an Eye to it sir as I hold it -" Behind him, looking through the door and on the extreme right, is Burke wearing a neat wig. Fox is out at elbows and wears an apron. A dog tugs at his shoe. Above the barber's head is a shelf for wig-boxes inscribed 'By the King's Patent'. Wigs and tresses of hair hang in a curved shop-window behind Fox with inscriptions (reversed) in three panes: 'Essence of Lemon', 'A Separate appartment to dress in', 'Violet Soap'. On the left is a row of wig-blocks: busts with heads (some caricatured); a lady and three men."--British Museum catalogue
